Question

I am working in a project and we are using TortoiseSVN for control version. We are a small team (five peoples) and i am experiencing a strange behavior when i uses “Show Log” or when i try commit.

This problem only happen on my computer, the function “Show logs” is not showing the most recent commits. i checked the date range and is wrong, but i can’t change it for a date more recent.

Also, when i try commit something a get this error:

Commit failed (details follow):
Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 255) with output:

I tried this with no successs:

• Resintall TortoiseSVN
• Install the most recent TortoiseSVN
• Redownload the brach

Any ideas about how to fix this?

Here’s your problem:

Commit blocked by pre-commit hook (exit code 255) with output:

The person responsible for setting up Subversion in your company has created a pre-commit hook that executes before Subversion allows your commit to go through. If that pre-commit hook exits with a 0 error code, your commit goes through. Otherwise, it doesn’t.

This exit code (255) is usually associated with a bad pre-commit hook that is careening out of control. There is nothing you personally can do. Instead contact the Subversion administrator and show them this output. They need to fix their pre-commit hook, or completely remove it.
